More than two million people throughout the United States, Canada and other countries have participated in STEP discussion groups and used the accompanying Parent's Handbook since American Justice Court Report___ o f discussion sessions Guidance Service (AGS) of Circle Pines, Minnesota, introduced the program in 1976. “ STEP encourages mutual respect between parent and child, increased cooperation, more effective com munication, and a more responsible, self-reliant attitude among children,” said a spokesperson. According to Curtis, the com munity’s interest in parenting educa- tion is part of a nationwide trend. A nationwide survey conducted by AGS showed that parenting educa tion is a growing phenomenon, spon sored by hundreds of diverse groups and organizations and conducted by thousands of individuals throughout the country. The trend in parenting education is a result of many social changes in the U S. These include changing roles for mothers, a shift away from the autocratic “ Father Knows Best value system to more democratic viewpoint, and the increasing mobility of families. The parents who participated in STEP groups said they found the program beneficial for many reasons. PLEASE !!
